38'000 isn't an 'opinion' those kind of numbers are a 'fact' no? Whether you 'care' about what I think or not is not really the issue here. Of course (like these CNN people) I am giving my opinion, I was just wondering why the CNN said what they said & after deliberating with people on here all I can say is now I can see why.

The problem with guns are that they need to be trained properly. My guns are trained to never point themselves at anyone without just cause, don't hold anyone up in a robbery, don't shoot at anything other than a legitimate legal target.

AND........ I've never had any issues with any of my guns acting on their own and disobeying what they learned from their training!

The term “gun violence” is an interesting one. I didn’t know that guns were capable of committing violence all on their own. We should definitely arrest and imprison all of these guns that are running amok causing violence.

It's the lack of training your gun properly! A properly trained gun is never a problem!

If only whole populations were as sensible as you, unfortunately though they're not, they never will be, which is why there is such a big problem in the USA. Anyway I can see that things are very unlikely to change soon and I don't seem to be able to encourage 'discussion' on the matter, if anything I seem to be making some 'enemies'! So perhaps we should just all agree to pray for the families of the thousands of people that die due to the lax gun laws, I'm sure the one thing we all agree on is that 38'000+ is FAR too many lost lives.
Enjoy your guns.
